Chautauqua Notes-
(Contributed.)'
When Bishop Vincent, in. his
desire to learn and to teaeh others,
first gathered around him that
little band of knowledge-seeking
people on the shores of that beau-
tiful resort. Lake Chautauqua,
New York, he little dreamed of
the tremendous movement he was
promulgating, or of the extent to
which it would grow.by this pres-
ent time, a third of a century
later.
For,, years and years, people
who thirst for more learning have
turned toward that mecca of the
mind each summer, thousands
upon thousands of them, and
while enjoying the beauties of the
scenery and the pleasures of
camp life, have at the same time
drank thirstily from the cup of
knowledge as it has been held to
their lips by the master minds of
this country and of other lands.
But Lake Chautauqua, New
York, has no longer a monopoly
of this thing. There are other
camping grounds just as beauti-
ful, and year after year in many
states the work goes steadily on,
perhaps a dozen encampments
being held during one week in a
and goodness of his expression
and manner, combined with the
knowledge of his rank, the pa-
thetic story of himself and fam-
ily, inspired all with a feeling of
reverence and affection for the
good old man. His reminiscences
of his youth in this country, given
in the afternoon, were interesting
and gave promise of the greater
address at night, on “The Rise
and Fall of Poland.” As his
speech neared its close, and he
dwelt on the thrilling events con-
nected with the death at the guil-
lotine of his father, the banish-
ment to Siberia of his aunt, and
of himself and mother to foreign
lands, of the hardships through
which they passed, and of his ar-
rival, a boy of 12, on American
soil, after his mother’s death in
England, as. he’-eulogizcd 'Amer-
ican liberty and American patri-
ots, the audience became spell-
bound, the interest wasj intense,
and the applause was great and
sincere. „ • ‘
The reader, Miss Parks of Dal-
las, who was here on Sobieski
day, had a very' charming per-
sonality and pleased thejpeople
greatly.

The movement is in its infancy
in Lampasas; but what a thrifty
child it is. Its environment is
such, and its promulgators are so
wise in realizing the blessing of
vocalist. The audience present
on the closing night was easily
the largest that had turned out.
The entertainment was of an ex-
ceedingly high order, having a

the day when Chas. F. Stalker ! as told in the reader’s rich, full

and antis alike might study this
question with profit.
C. Thompson and T. P. Gil-
christ, of Llano, principal owners
of the oil mills now being erected
at Lampasas and Llano, were
here this week and spent a day
or two in the country among the
gin men making arrangements
for the purchase of cotton seed
to supply their mills Muring the
fall and winter. The walls of the
oil mill are now well above the
ground, and soon the roof will be
going on the building, and then
the machinery will be installed.
Lampasas will have an oil mill
ready to crush the next crop of
cotton seed.
and the people enjoy being with
each other apparently as much
as they do seeing the shows. The
stadium attracts large crowds,
while the old plantation, the girl
from Dixie, the electric theater
and the mysterious Edna all have
a good attendance. The novelty
shows and the novelty dealers all
have a good patronage, and there
will be some good money for the
local fire department in the vent-
ure, the carnival having come
here under the auspices of the
Lampasas fire department.
Misses Hettie and Vinnie Mc-
Corcle, of Killeen, are visiting

drew his first cartoon and con-
vulsed us with laughter at the
wonderful transformations that
some times took place, and
charmed us with the lightning
speed of his deft fingers, keeping
pace with his fluent tongue, to
the dramatic impersonations of
the Ben Hur company, the week
has been one splendid feast, at
which all might partake and be
satisfied.
■ The personal charm of Miss
Frank Miller, combined with her
great earnestness and simplicity,
brought her very close to the
hearts of her audience and made
it more susceptible to her mes-
sage.
The Howard-Payne boys grew
in favor, and their last number
came far too soon, while their
readers captured the hearts of
the listeners.
For a clean, refined, uplifting
political address, unsurpassed in
logic, and alive with the condi-
tions of humanity as they really
exist, commend me to a great-
hearted, pure lifed minister of
the gospel, thfe kind who followfe
no beaten path for popularity,
but speaks the truth as he finds
it.' Such a man is the Rev. E. G.
Shouse of Kansas, whose integ-
rity and clean life shone in his
face, and such was his address.
The great day of the week was
considered to be Wednesday,
when Count Sobieski came among
us, and by the genuine kindness
tones.
What would it all have been
been without Prof. Fletcher? We
are all loth to give up that jovial
smile, that drawling voice, and
those health lectures, which ad-
vocate ways to health which will
harm none and will cost nothing.
The children have grown much
attached to him and hope with
the grown-ups that he will be
with us next year.
To the W. C.'T. U. a vote of
thanks is due for their instrumen-
tality in bringing the Chautauqua
to Lampasas.
Frank Beauman has put* in an
electrical apparatus for giving

quire. He will order such elec-
trical vibrators for any who may
need them at a reasonable price.
Go and let him “show you.”
